How should I go about this?

<p>Hey guys, sorry if this is the wrong subsection, but this is where I thought my question would be appropriate. </p>

<p>Anyway, I've always wanted to become an Astrophysicist, and so have most of my college course planned out. I am going to major in Physics and Mathematics and then pursue an Astrophysics degree in Graduate school. Recently though, I have gained an interest in Biological Engineering, and have had thoughts of obtaining a degree in that as well. If it would be possible, how could I go about this? I am really interested in both subjects and find them fascinating; so studying both would satisfy me.</p>

<p>Well, you could drop Physics or Math - you don’t need to do both to get into grad school, or to even have an “advantage” for grad school.</p>

<p>If you want to study astrophysics in graduate school, stick with physics. There is a lot of applied mathematics in a physics curriculum and this is what you need for astrophysics. Graduate schools often look at how focused an applicant is and having too many majors is not necessarily a plus. The Biological Engineering is probably not a great idea unless you really want to be an engineer.</p>
